"They worked diligently, hardly raising their faces from the ground, and not knowing whether to be more frightened of the pigs or of the human visitors." - Pg. 134
I think the most impressionable setting in Animal Farm is the farm itself. The animals in Manor Farm originally intended to farm to be a beautiful place with freedom and beauty all around. However, as time progressed, the farm became gloomy, with oppression everywhere and Napolean with total control over the animals. I find this disturbing and interesting at the same time. To me, this shows that when we sometimes want paradise, we end up making hell instead.
I would probably guess that the time period in either late 1800's or early 1900's, as it is Orwell's time. However, even if it was present-day, Orwell would change enough things to make the story the same.

Hi 99+1! kkkjkjk
Hmm.. sounds like the farm is the most of the place that takes place of in this book. However, I'm curious... what was the time setting? Did that matter the way how farm was running?
Nice work!
Bye:)
Wow that's deep. I agree with most of the things you said. The mood of the farm did get gloomy and pessimistic as the time passed under the rule of the pigs.
It is disturbing, and I wouldn't like it at all if I was under the rule of bunch of hypocrites. I have a question for you though. Did humans and animals communicate in the late 1800's or early 1900's?
